Blessings beloved ones,
As the month of November is a special month for the holy souls in purgatory, I want to provide some prayers that might be beneficial for your deceased loved ones.
God bless,
A Soul
1) Only during the month of November, if you pray the Flame of Love Hail Mary, 10 holy souls are released into Heaven every time it is recited (other months, 3 Flame of Love Hail Marys releases one poor soul when prayed). Imagine if you did an entire Rosary! 530 holy souls released! The Flame of Love Hail Mary is an approved prayer by the Catholic Church in Hungary.
“Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee, blessed are Thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of Thy Flame of Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”
2) According to tradition, Saint Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that the following prayer, when piously recited, would release 1,000 holy souls from their suffering in purgatory:
“Eternal Father,
I offer You the most precious blood
of thy Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses said
throughout the world today,
for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory,
for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the universal Church,
for those in my own home,
and in my family. Amen.”
3) Purgatory Prayer: Holy Shoulder Wound of JESUS: It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that Saint Bernard asked Our Lord which was His greatest unrecorded suffering and Our Lord answered: “I had on My Shoulder, while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous Wound, which was more painful than the others and which is not recorded by men. Honor this Wound with thy devotion and I will grant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through Its virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, I will remit to them all their venial sins and will no longer remember their mortal sins.”
This revelation and promise of Our Dear Savior is another proof of His unlimited mercy. You are urged to say these prayers daily and to promulgate this prayer on a continuous basis, so that others may share in this blessing. Say the Sacred Wound Prayer, in addition to 1 Our Father Prayer and 3 Hail Mary Prayers. (3,000 years Partial Indulgence).
The Sacred Wound Prayer: “O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross, which so tore Thy Flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other Wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee and give Thee thanks for this most sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven, along the Way of Thy Cross. Amen.”
